Severe reaction was acquiring POTS and being unable to engage in light to strenuous activity for around 9 months. This was after the second shot. Regardless of previous infection, shouldn't the reaction to a previous dosage be enough to determine that maybe increasing the dosage is not a good idea? And is natural immunity not enough of a preventative measure? Natural immunity has been proven to be more robust than vaccine acquired immunity, with natural immunity plus one shot being touted as superior to simply being double or even triple jabbed. Of course many of the more controversial doctors have been saying that risk of adverse effects increase 4-fold if you have previously been exposed to the virus. But that's not acceptable to discuss. > If she is unable to take needed preventative measures wouldn't it be more reasonable if they hired someone who can? When staffing shortages regularly kill people, I hate to even dignify this with a response.

You said > Previous infection should have had some bearing on the dosage one was compelled to take. But then backed it up with no evidence that this was actually so. Basically nobody cares about your intuitive reasoning about how the human body works because that's worth in an area as complex as your body less than nothing. The correct answer would have been a study that showed people with prior infection responded better to a different dosage. Natural immunity alone is a worst case situation because covid without vaccination is far more likely to kill you and far more likely to cause permanent damage to heart and lungs. It's less meaningful to talk about the benefits without also talking about the costs. You also have worse immunity than if you had also got vaccinated and worse costs than if you had got vaccinated prior to infection. Covid infection -> Vaccination. All of the costs above then even greater immunity. Vaccination -> Covid infection Lesser costs same immunity as above. Vaccination alone. Best possible scenario none of the costs above in exchange for slightly worse immunity. Remember the whole point of immunity is to avoid paying some or all costs of the infection. Getting it by paying full costs defeats the purpose its like going to a war zone and saying screw it I'll just get shot right away and get it over with and shooting yourself in the chest. Regarding one shot being better two than people with prior covid infections. I have seen exactly one pre print study to that effect. I do not believe that this is the scientific consensus. The recommendations from actual doctors and scientists is to get your two shots regardless of whether you have had covid or not. I would stick with that.
